Trudeau has to go?

[ExtraSlow]

Yeah, he hasn't been wildly popular, even with liberal supporters, since very early on. However, there has been a real step change in his popularity in the second half of this year. I think it's mostly that the problems with him, and the liberal policies, have just become too numerous and significant to ignore for those "middle-ground" voters. Also, because we are so far form the election, it's "safe" for a liberal voter to express displeasure by claiming they will vote for a different party. That feeling of safety will be less when the election is closer. That's why they "PPP is trumPPP" advertising will really ramp up about 14 months before the election.

They baited the conservatives pretty perfectly with the only providing French answers to an MP from Alberta while providing English answers to Liberal questions.. pretty funny

Trudeau's candid admission that the media didn't cover his economic update as he would've liked. This isn't just an offhand remark; it's a glaring admission of the cozy relationship between his government and the media. It's as if Trudeau expects the media to be his personal PR firm, glossing over his failures while distracting the public with other issues.And there you have it, folks. Trudeau's brazen expectation of favorable media coverage lays bare the rot at the core of Canadian politics. The media, once the guardians of truth, now seem to be in a tango with the powers that be, dancing to a tune that serves the political elite rather than the public.

Now, focus on this: the 2023 Fall Economic Statement proposes to substantially increase the cap on labour expenditures per eligible newsroom employee under the Canadian journalism labour tax credit. This isn't just about supporting journalism; it's effectively subsidizing a particular narrative. A whooping increase from $55,000 to $85,000 per journalist, with a temporary hike in the tax credit rate from 25% to 35%? This is a clear sign of a government desperately trying to prop up a failing industry that aligns with its own agenda.

This isn't about sustaining objective journalism. It's about maintaining a media that's compliant and conducive to the government's narrative. The increase in funding is a strategic move to ensure that the media remains on the government's side, effectively turning journalists into mouthpieces for the state.
The exchange between Trudeau and Poilievre exposes the underlying issue: a government so intertwined with the media that it expects coverage as a matter of course. Trudeau's frustration with the lack of coverage on his economic update speaks volumes about his expectations of the media – not as independent watchdogs, but as extensions of his own public relations machine.

Hadn't heard Trudeau was upping his media purchases - guess he thinks the polls indicate he needs to up his propaganda game.

She was very polite in asking her to respond in English, and it's completely normal to answer questions in the same language they're asked in given the Liberal MP responds to Liberal questions in English.

Just more blatant Liberal divisiveness while they claim it's the Conservatives dividing the country.

"The clerk then allegedly grabbed the bat away from the suspect, who fled the store, followed him out of the store and hit him “several times” with the bat on the sidewalk." You can't just run after someone and beat the shit out of them with a bat. This has always been the case.

Which is bullshit. I get its the law, but its still horseshit.

Freelands protection thug roughing up crazy old man Menzies for asking her questions and arresting him on made up charges ( that were dropped hours later ) has been a super good look.

Officer is already under formal RCMP investigation.

A shame we only rough up journalists in this country rather than terrorist sympathizers screaming threats and violence at police and innocent bystanders. Quite the utopia we have setup in this country.

Yea, but it's completely backwards.

Pre-meditated illegal actions should have consequences. Victims reacting and fighting back against the criminal threatening them don't deserve punishment. I mean, beating a guy to death is different from returning the actions of a crook back upon them.


If some dude walks up and punches me in the face and walks off I'm just supposed to stand there and then file a police report that will never be looked at again? C'mon.

I would tend to disagree here. I would love for castle laws to be relevant here and very much agree with a person being able to protect themselves, their family, and property to the furthest extent possible. However, once the attack, or risk if you will, is no longer credible, that's where the right should stop. Running after the person in an attempt to deliver "justice" completely after the threat is over isn't the place of an individual.

I get your position, but there is a slippery slope of what "just" would mean.

They do have consequences, its called the law.

If a dude runs up, punches you in the face, then runs away is he still a threat? No. Thats the difference here. Are you above the law just as much as the criminal thinks they are? "An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind" - Gandhi

[killramos]

Yea chasing someone down and beating the shit out of them in retribution/punishment when they are fleeing is not generally respected as self defence even in the most lax jurisdictions.

I’m guessing evidence exists ( like a camera ) that buddy chased him down and took it too far.

And this is where good lawyers should come in to play. Is the threat still relevant? Totally depends on how the victim feels. If the victim allows the criminal to just run off, then they now have to fear that criminals return for retribution. Or worse yet, the criminal coming back with a group of his thug buddies. It's your god given right to protect yourself from those threats.

[CompletelyNumb]

Robber attacked clerk, strikes him with a bat. Clerk, with life in danger, manages to disarm the robber. The robber then attempts to flank the clerk by exiting the building and circling back. The clerk, still afraid for his life, decides to end the threat as he knows the next attack may kill him.

Easy win amirite.

What's funny is the clerk was arrested and charged on the spot, and cops said they're "planning" on charging the robber.

Classic Canadian police repsonce.
